The 'Hire Me for Everything' Tumblr blog is one young lady's attempt to use humor to pay the bills and find a position. The blog, which initially began as a Craigslist posting in Toronto, has been growing steadily on Facebook over the last 24 hours.
The hustler mentality of the 'Hire Me for Everything' blog reflects how young people refuse to take a tough economy laying down. Her list of skills include practical things like art, design and writing services. Humorous nugets from the list include "I'll write your roommate a passive-aggressive note," "I'll go to your boring events in your place so you can stay home and watch the Xbox," and "I'll water your house."
